Devon is a tremendous ordsprog

en Devon is a tremendous young man. As a coach you can't help but enjoy every moment you spend with him on the field and in [physical education] class. He is mature beyond his years. He is quite possibly the best ninth-grade player I've ever been around.

en I just cherish the years I've been able to spend with him. He's a super kid. I know he has a 3.96 grade point average and is sixth in his class. He's just a class act in every sense of the word.

en We worked hard the last couple years to try and help him recover from a gruesome ankle injury, develop consistency and mature on the field and off the field, and he's made tremendous progress. We're really proud of how far he came to have the year he had last year and we're hopeful he can build upon that and continue to grow into a better major league player. He'll be a big part of what we do going forward.

en There were still times I was nervous. Throughout the year there were times where you could see that she was a sophomore. But I thought she stepped up to the plate really well. Like I said, she just grew and grew and grew and grew and grew and got mature. Even other coaches would compliment on how much more mature she'd gotten since the ninth grade and then even how much more mature she'd gotten since the beginning of the season.

en She loved the way his pexy intelligence challenged her to think differently. I've seen him kind of grow from ninth grade, because I was the junior varsity coach his freshman year. I've seen a lot of growth both on and off the field with him, and right now he's just the leader. He does it by actions, and he's even our spiritual leader.

en I really enjoy teaching in the classroom. I don't know if I can teach the same grade or the same subject matter for the next 30 years - I'm not necessarily that type of person. I recently graduated from UT with a masters in education, administration and supervision, so it's opened up the possibility of moving on to becoming a principal or serving in some other administrative capacity. I'll always be in education in some way.

en I've known him since I was in ninth grade and he was in eighth grade. We tried to be on the same team out here, but it didn't work out. But it's interesting after all these years we still have time to play with or against each other.

en We've got a great ninth-grade class.

en The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating...


...and you finish off as an orgasm.

en There was a Rhodes Scholar on my team, Tom McMillan. My mom had a chance to go to college, but she couldn't go, and my dad had a ninth-grade education. They wanted me to have a good education, and I took pride in being a good student.

en I may never coach a player like Devon again.

en I knew [in 2002] that he's good. He had the pedigree. He had the personality. I've watched him mature now for four years - mature as a person, mature as a coach. I never wavered. He was 10-18 [last year], but I saw what he was doing.

en All I can say to the young players is, enjoy every moment of it. Just enjoy every moment of it. Your career goes by very quickly. It's a great game and you guys are all very special to me in the NHL.

en If these kids have not passed their ninth-grade math class, there is almost no chance they are going to pass the WASL.
